Exciting news for local theatre lovers — in-person ticketing is back at Massey Theatre starting August 11!

From Tuesday to Thursday, between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m., you can now drop by and grab your tickets on-site. The temporary Box Office will be located inside the Massey Theatre Administration Office, just across from Moody Park Arena in New Westminster.

Prefer to skip the line? No problem! You can still book your seats anytime, anywhere through their easy-to-use online portal at www.masseytheatre.com/tickets. Whether you're catching a local play, concert, or special event, Massey Theatre makes it simple to lock in your plans.

With both in-person and online options now available, it’s never been easier to experience the magic of live performance in New West.

Do You Have What It Bakes?

Calling all legendary bakers, pie lovers, and kitchen daredevils—Pie for Pride is back and tastier than ever! Whether you’ve perfected a classic blueberry pie, inherited a top-secret family peach recipe, or want to test your pastry skills with something bold and new, this is your moment to shine.

Hosted by the New West Farmers Market in support of New West Pride Society, the 2025 Pie for Pride contest is more than just a baking battle—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and, of course, pie. Your masterpiece will be judged by beloved local personalities, and slices will be sold by donation to raise funds for Pride programming.

🥧 Winner takes home:
• $50 in Market Money
• Bragging rights as New West’s Best Pie of 2025
• The pride of seeing your pie support a great cause!

Think your pie has what it takes?
